Morning Skin Conversations

Heyyyyy! It’s Lolo. I’m a licensed esthetician and organizational psychologist. The first thing people typically notice about me is my skin. It wasn’t always a natural gift. Just know, this butterscotch golden brown bronzed up glow doesn’t come from products alone. It became a journey and I’m sharing all of that with you. It starts with proper assessment and a treatment plan. My mental health, what I eat, and how I live all plays a role.

WELCOME TO MY FIRST VIDEO!

 

I’m starting off with my morning wake up skincare routine.

Due to COVID-19, it feels like we have been in quarantine for such a long time. There is a new normal that we all have to adjust to and my skin has been a reflection of many influencing factors such as diet, environment, and stress. We’re making our own meals, trying to follow at-home workouts and resting our minds when we need it. I explain the importance of knowing ingredients and how I don’t rely on specific brands to reach my skincare goals.

It’s a process and sometimes our skin isn’t perfect, but if we are properly equipped, we can reclaim our GLOW!
